• How to produce high quality almond oil without refining?
  • 4. Conclusions Both pressure extraction systems (hydraulic and screw) are a good technology to obtain high quality almond oils, with a low content of free fatty acids and peroxides, leading to the production of a virgin oil that can be consumed directly, without refining.
  • Does extraction process change the quality of almond oil?
  • The performance of both methods, as well as the quality and composition characteristics of the almond oils obtained, both from the physical-chemical and organoleptic point of view, have been analyzed to determine the possible changes that occurred in the oil due to the extraction system.
  • How is almond oil obtained?
  • In this work, almond oil has been obtained using two pressure systems: screw press (SP) and hydraulic press (HP). The performance of both methods, as well as their influence on quality and composition characteristics of the almond oils obtained are analyzed from both a physical-chemical and sensory point of view.
  • What is almond processing?
  • Almond processing is a vital aspect of the almond industry, contributing to the production of various almond products that are enjoyed by people worldwide. From almond butter and almond milk to almond flour and almond oil, the processing of almonds is a complex and fascinating process that involves several stages and techniques.
